I will contact you about “contracting out”. I need to get my site rolling.

Rob

I am developing my first Thesis site, and have my Mac set-up with MAMP, and need to know if there is a way to copy all my files from my Mac to my ftp site so I can show my client their site pages as they are developed. I noticed the method is different than say a regular css/html website. Can you send me instructions on how to do this?

PS: On a earlier post, I asked about styling a horizontal rule, and found it easier to slice it, and save it out as a jpg. It seemed like whenever I created a style for the rule and edited a page, it would break the rule.

Thanks for your help!

I didn’t know you could use FileZilla as a real-time editor — gotta look into that. Thanks!

There are really only about 5 places where you need to worry about inputting your seo-friendly content and the above tuts will walk you through it.

I might be in the minority, but I think that if you don’t want to learn code because you have more important things to do with you work/business then you shouldn’t do it. If you know exactly what needs to be done to your site you can just contract the work out to css and php pros. Anyone worth their salt should be able to complete your project and deliver it to you while you focus on the core of whatever it is that you do.

I’ve got some thesis basics here that will teach you some userful tweaks, and you can also find a lot of good info here.

I really dont want to learn code. If I could by osmosis I would do it. I would like some wordpress/thesis basics. So much to tweak for SEO, link backs, ARGGH!

However, since there is SOOO much information, I think it’s too much to digest in one setting. What I did when I was learning how to use CSS and PHP with Thesis was to go to the DIY forums and read every post that contained a snippet of code that I found interesting. I’d then copy and paste it into my custom files and see what happened. Shortly, patterns began to emerge within the code and I learned how to do the basics like change colors and add functions and built from there.

But I’m leaving one important thing out: I’ve been trained how to troubleshoot and problem solve for a long time. When the code doesn’t work, I know how to take it apart and see what’s broken. But I know that everyone is not like that, and sometimes I think people get a better ROI by focusing on running their businesses or writing content for their site instead of spending hours trying to learn code.
